The Night

The cool moon stares straight through me
Filling me up with beauty and joy.
So gentle that I yearn to kiss it
With my softly pulsating heart.

There is a scent in the evening air
Left behind by an unforgiving storm.
Yet wonder of wonders it is
So mysterious, so sweet, so calm.

The shadow beneath my footsteps
Seems so distance in the pale moonlight.
But I can feel it caressing
My deepest loneliness away.

As I raise my head into the distance
I swear I can hear so clearly
The passionate echoes of
The silence in the night.
